The board discussed the spring events and provided ideas for future community events.
The Easter Egg hunt was discussed, and feedback was provided by board members
from previous years' experiences. After this discussion the board decided to take a year
off from the Easter Egg Hunt. The scope of the egg hunt and attendance level was a
concern to the Park Board members. There were safety concerns due to the large
attendance. Chief Sass gave a brief update regarding the safety issues that were
witnessed. Chief Sass reported that participants were coming from all directions and
were in the street. The purpose of this annual event is to celebrate the season and
provide a fun event for the Medina residents. The event was attended by many non-
residents, safety concerns, how to manage the large numbers and provide enough eggs
for the kids were all discussed by the board members. This discussion led to the board
deciding not to hold the event this year and focus on another community event. The
board will reevaluate the logistics of the egg hunt event and how to improve it for future
years.
